pOokpOok
is very tired
and sleepy
and hungry (although she has just eaten dinner)
pOokpOok would also like some churros
or soy chips
or..anything unhealthy.
like fries.
she is very proud that she has managed to resist temptation for many weeks now.
mostly because she is far too lazy to go and buy the fries.
see,the benefits of being lazy.
whee
now she must go.
and finish her work
but actually
she is just going to fall asleep again.
hee!
pOokpOok is looking forward to:
dinner tomorrow night!
đ
under the blacklight
it is a source of much wonderment to me
that we (i) are always in want of things.
life would be a lot less complicated if we just wanted less things
(and not wanting for things am i, i have a lot of things as it is)
hmmm…
so now:
i want to want less things
and see what i’ve just done?
oh, the irony, it is killing me.
i am going to log off net-a-porter now
i should be studying, not looking for more things to want, gaaarh!!
hahaha.
this is so funny i am laughing on the inside and i really should stop drinking coke.
*wheeeeeeeeeeeee*
why, why is it that i can spend hours online (window) shopping (when i should be studying), and then go out and physically shop when the weekend rolls around (when i should also be studying).
why?
whhhyy?
what is wrong with me?
i am beginning to see the problem now…
haha
(bear in mind, please, that in spite of the many hours i spend indulging in shopping related activities, the actual amount of shopping i do is very little (because i only buy things when they are worth it!), so noooo…i am not a money waster ok!)
of course, you (meaning my mum,hello mum) are free to disagree.
the unjolly roger
and the winner is…
so sad, why, why did federer looooooose?????
WHY,GOD,WHY???
first heath ledger had to go and die,
and now THIS??
AAAAAAH.
*
see, now i feel so much better.
hee.
okay.
so i’m doing this thing where i spend everyday avoiding things i should do.
exams were over a week ago and all my notes are still where i last left them.
partly because if i move them..
well.
i’d have no where to put them.
ha!
(see, it’s not that i don’t want to…i can’t!)
also i spend a lot of time thinking about doing things, like shopping.
(but then i’m too lazy to actually go shopping)
seriously, how can you top that?
*
this break is one where i can really just do nothing…sit around and feel pleased…and basically mooch about being useless.
which is clearly what i’m doing, but strangely, it isn’t as satisfying as i’d thought it would be.
*
Does it break my heart, of course, every moment of every day, into more pieces than my heart was made of, I never thought of myself as quiet, much less silent, I never thought about things at all, everything changed, the distance that wedged itself between me and my happiness wasn’t the world, it wasn’t the bombs and the burning buildings, it was me, my thinking, the cancer of never letting go, is ignorance bliss, I don’t know, but it’s so painful to think, and tell me, what did thinking ever do for me, to what great place did thinking ever bring me?
I think and think and think, I’ve thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it.

pOokpOok says
pOokpOok is on holiday next week.
this means pOokpOok does not have to drag her sorry ass to school every day.
instead she has to stay at home (with her sorry ass) and study.
pOokpOok has better things to do with her free time-
but right now pOokpOok is going to watch grey’s anatomy
and she would like to thank someone for it.
pOokpOok loves grey’s anatomy because it puts into words (well,film actually) what she cannot find the words to say sometimes.
season 4 episode 2:
it’s the high we’re chasing..the high that makes everything else fade away.
and
pOokpOok thinks talking in the third person is awesome
also it is slightly weird that someone came up and sniffed her today.
Women: The New Women.
get it here
the reason why women go to all those other stores is so they can get other things they may (or may not-but that’s not the point here) need…
SO that men don’t have to drive them to the store again.
 see.
it’s really for your own good.
in other news:
and Jen Aniston & Ben Affleck are making He’s Just Not That Into You!
yayness!
đ
you may have a purple flamingo too.
this is an excellent day.
okay…so now that everything is happy and shiny…
 on to shoes!
i’ve been thinking of getting some Keds for awhile now…and i can’t decide whether to get these, or the Nanette Lepore for Keds ones..obviously i may be slightly biased here, since the whole range (designed by Eleanor Grosch)…is called… Eleanor! surprise, surprise.
See, these shoes LITERALLY have my name on it….Mum, are you listening?
maybe i just like the whole owl vibe.
its owl-tastic.
okay,that is just lame.
in other news:
eleanor is in a very good mood.
(isn’t it odd?…Wordpress has a word counter, and it says i’ve written 230 words so far…so why was it so hard for me to come up with a 250 word narrative?are my grand plans for world domination somehow..not lofty enough?)
why do people think its okay to pat my head?
when i’m sleeping?
nOOOoo…
and at 7 am, when i have not yet woken up, gossip is the last thing on my mind, so pleeeease…..stop telling me things, stop asking me things….i’m not going to gossip about people i know/don’t know (must say i’m doing quite well on that principle so far)..
so while everyone else is free to indulge in whatever they like, please don’t involve me, okay?
thank you very much.
no good can come from gossiping (or patting my head when i’m sleeping), and it will always, always bite you in the ass..(not me, gossip, cos that would be unhygienic.)
bye bye now.
The Last Goodbye
in harry potter (which i have only watched 3 times,now)…there is a scene in which Harry and Sirius have a serious (haha,humour me)Â conversation about good and bad…
and Sirius says: The world is not divided into Good People and Death Eaters.
which, in all honesty, has been on my mind for a few days.
are we all essentially good?
by which i mean: when given a choice between what is right and what is wrong, regardless of the consequences-is it fair to assume that under the best circumstances, we would all choose to be right?
even if it means the outcome (for us) isn’t good?
so do we give everybody, including ourselves, the benefit of a doubt?
so where does that leave us, if we do the correct things mostof the time, but wrong others some of the time?
does that make us bad people?
maybe we just don’t want to believe that good and bad, that compassion and cruelty can lie side by side in the same person.
where does that leave us?
there’s no use in trying
when the pieces don’t fit anymore.

oh,the humanity.
you know in the opening credits of the Simpsons, when Homer tosses a glowy radioactive thing onto the sidewalk or something(i forget,who pays attention anyway!?)..
and you start to feel Better about yourself, since you obviously aren’t as stupid as Homer (it just isn’t possible)…
and THEn…you click this here link….(Full Report here)
and feel MUCH MUCH BETTER, since there ARE Homer-esque peoples in the world!
” Soon after starting work at 08:00 on 24 July 1996 (Day 1), K.Z. was climbing up a ladder carrying heat insulation material when he noticed a shiny metallic object (the 192Ir source) lying in the trench. Once down the ladder, he picked up the source and put it in the right breast pocket of his coveralls. Over the next 1.5 h, K.Z. reportedly removed the source from his pocket to inspect it and then returned it to the pocket on a number of occasions. At around 09:30 he started to experience dizziness, nausea, lethargy and a burning feeling in his chest. Believing that the object was a possible cause of his symptoms, he put it back in the trench and then went to the workersâ rest room.”
[Important lesson to be learnt: Not ALL shiny metallic objects are gOod for you…unless they come in a robin blue box, ahem….koff*Tiffany’s*koff…koff*birthday soon*koff…]
drat this nasty cough of mine.
okay…to be fair the report also states that this particular worker is uneducated and unable to read, to which my follow up would be…Why was he allowed to work without safety training in the first place? But that is a question for the project i am working on, not going to bore myself (and you,haha) here…
i’m looking forward to the Simpson’s movie, not least because the ad on TV is hilarious…*SpiderPig, SpiderPig..does whatever a Spider does…*
haha.Â
going shopping later,yay!okay..so it’s for groceries,but you never know what surprises lie in store!:)
doing work and being productive is starting to bore me, so i’ve decided to go for a nice hot drink to while away the hour i have left before the next class..
tOodles my darlings!

Sleepy Hollow
yesterday i went to get a haircut…and the guy who was rinsing my hair gave me a nice head massage.
but you know what’s scary?
when he tapped my head with his fingers..
it sounded almost…
HOLLOW!
haha..
live and learn.
hmmm…this is going to sound a lot like a lot of my other posts,but the sad thing is…its truuuue…
i’m in such a horrible mood…so i’m trying to surround myself with Nice Happy People, whom i Like so i won’t be all dark and sad anymore.
so far (today) it’s worked..haha…i’m dead sleepy, cos i sat up most of last night just staring into space.
hmmm.
sometimes i really wonder what i’m doing…and why things happen the way they do.
well..to put it in a nutshell…i wonder who decides what goes on.
God,obviously, would be the logical answer, but what i really want to know is WHY things happen.
how does God decide what should happen to whom?
there is an answer, which i’m sure someone out there is just itching to say…but let me finish ok?
i want to know how and why everything and everyone is connected.
i want to know why you don’t always get what you deserve, both in a good and bad way.
i want to know why i want the things i want.
i want to know why i don’t want the things i want.
***
i’m sure someone out there can also attest to the fact that drunk dialling, even when you’re not actually drunk, just very tired, is never a gOod idea….
***
i’m very sure i think the latest Harry Potter movie is the best one so far (or maybe it’s because i can’t remember what the book was about).
***
i’m also very sure that when i’m tired i am a nightmare to be around…and that for my own sake, and the sake of all the innocent people around me, i should be allowed to sleep.
***
i also sure i hate having to depend on other people. i hate asking people for favours, although sometimes i think i can be quite a doormat, it physically pains me to ask anyone for anything.
most of all i hate it when people think i don’t know, or that i can’t hear, or that i won’t realise. i hate confrontations, i hate having to put into words how i feel, i hate hating things, butmostofallihate _________.
so in the 6 hours i spent staring into space last night, i finally realised that i know a lot of shitty people, but that’s no reason for me to go there myself. i have also decided that i’m not going to blame them for being shitty, since they probably have some shitty things going on in their own lives.
i am SELF- centred. and i’m happy about that, obviously (i have a nice little cutout saying just that, stuck in my room), because REALLY…it’s good for you.
anyway i was listening to U2’s With Or Without You, and i think it’s quite a nice song.hmm.

also today i got an sms from MAXIS, yes MAXIS, as in the telecomm people, who won’t give me decent coverage within my own room, because they’ve decided to gift me, (ME!) with a check for all of 11000 (yes, eleven thousand!) dollars!
ain’t i lucky?

yay!i just read that Zandra Rhodes and Sophia Kokolasaki are doing capsule collections for Topshop,although whether we get it here is another question,obviously…
but yay!
đ
also…despite all the hype, i’m not terribly impressed by the kate moss collection (gasp,the blasphemy!), but seriously..it doesn’t look like very much thought has been put into it, with everything seeming so..been there, done that, bought the t-shirt (literally)…with the exception of a few weirdly cut dresses.haha.
hmmm…i have my eye on a pink and white shopper from Topshop, but it seems to be out of stock…why????whhhhhyyyy….
pffft.
i like the one on the right more,and there’s actually a shirt that matches it!although OBVIOUSLY i wouldn’t wear it all together…or should i?hmmm…Â
anyway.did you hear about the time i tried to have dinner with $14?
and to be absolutely honest, if it wasn’t for the fact that someone lent me the 14 bucks, i wouldn’t have had anything!
ahem.actually. i was merely conducting short experiment on how far plastic can take you.
but of course!
(okay,so the whole deepfrieddebauchery night was quite cool.i concede.)
(even though we didn’t get to watch Transformers.)

Frutips, Pocky and Fisherman’s Friends.
ok.since i’ve been tagged and i don’t really have time to go around looking for food(although i AM hungry now) because i must STUDY…
i shall post my favourite food (or junk food,actually.)
well.
Three.
Frutips:Â
Made from premium priced raw materials that result in a superior product quality, the Frutips range delivers a fruity, mouth watering experience. The unique texture and flavour tang (based on real fruit juice and acid content) is too lively to resist.
Â
âIrresistibly Fruityâ
Granted, this is the official Nestlè press release, but it is SO TRUE…
Unfortunately Frutips aren’t available in Malaysia, so I can only get them when I go on holiday.
Which is good. Because Sweets are bad for you. Even when they’re Good.
I really like the blackcurrant ones, but the other flavours are quite okay…a good alternative is Rowntree’s Fruit Pastilles, but obviously nothing beats the real deal.
(buy them here)
and then we have Pocky.
I like the strawberry ones.
and obviously, the one thing you always, always find in my bag…
I like the original sugar-free version. Everything else tastes too sweet.
The only thing I really have often is Fisherman’s Friends. It’s sugar free, I like it, and if you chew it with gum it takes on a funny kind of texture, which i find somewhat intriguing.
Man, I’m so hungry right now..
Ahem.
So…If you happen to go somewhere with Frutips..please,please buy me some!
